Genderless representation at it's finest: just mens clothes and mens sizing and specifically calling out "not women"

So I think we figured out our dog's dead name.
He's a rescue, picked up off the street and held for two months, and the shelter gave him a dumb name. We renamed him Argo.
Argo has been his name for 2.5 years since we got him, and he absolutely knows that's his name.
However...

I'm pretty sure I'm going to use Sophia, Dogged Detective. She has a good color profile and looks fun to bounce between making food tokens and making dogs strong.
I'm hoping to proxy several cards with pictures of my dog. He loves food.
Also, I want to reskin Battle of Bywater as "The Cheese Tax"

I know that The Psion UA on @dndbeyond.com is old news, but I made this meme moments after I read it.
I love teleport powers/characters, and the Psykinetic's enhanced offensive mode really says "Oh, it's on!"
My next 5e character will be one of these two, just not sure which.

Oh boy, @heightadvantage.bsky.social is drawing Yexa Death's Head, my Pathfinder orc for Triumph of the Tusk.
I'm so excited! This is just a WIP; we're going to make it so that she's giving someone the finger, rather than holding a bolt.

Ha! And I thought it was prideful arrogance this entire time!
I do appreciate it, but I'm trying to work on myself and become more humble. Too often my instinct says "I could do that!" when perhaps I need to take a giant step back and check myself.

I should mention that I'm not going to break NDA, lose my job, and get sued.
Therefore a solid: I can't say.
You can ask about D&D, but not about future releases.
For example, I'm a rogue main at heart but really love the warlock.

Both very cute and sexy. Both horribly impractical. And both some of my favorite outfits.
Did I mention that playing paper dolls is my favorite part about this game?

Somewhere between human feces and antisemitic graffiti, both fairly common in SF.
I've seen more than my share of the mangled corpses of cats and dogs because they got hit by a car. Keep your pets safe, please

I'm supposed to say "my wife" but in reality it's my dog. Argo loves to kick me or lick me to wake me up. After, he usually lays on me and licks my face and lets me love and pet him.
Vicki is not amused, since I "give him more attention." It's her fault; she got the dog.
